Morgan and Punch at least have worn Nike boots for at least 2 seasons now athough Morgan did have a brief flirt with Adidas for a couple of games last season.Some players just like new boots all of the time.
Thought it was a fantastic match myself. Good all round peerformance. MOTM ? Morgan for the ensemble of his play or Gaston for kneeing Wilshere in the balls and the goal? Tough one.
still they've got a couple that they can sell without too many problems. Granero and Taraabt are highly coveted in Italy and Spain apparently, places where work rate is not the be all and end all of football.
Might not be a bad thing, Cagliari's defensive record is pretty abysmal. Perhaps they're just crap all through the side though and one decent player can't make much difference. Still wary of Italian defenders in the PL though. Santon is a liabilty this season.
He was a liability when we dropped him the first time. A smart move then would have been to get him a NPC/L1 loan so that Adkins didn't have an excuse to bring him back as son as Gazza screwed up a bit (or a lot as the case may be). KD's continued presence in the side can only be due to NA's misplaced loyalty towards him, there can be no other rational explanation. It was wrong last summer but having learnt the hard way we've fallen into the same trap again.
Watched most of that game, I do wonder if QPR haven't made a monumental mistake over Joey Barton, I mean I don't rate the bloke over highly but he'd be better that Diakaté and M'Bia. He'd be back available for selection now wouldn't he ?
